contact D R E they can even help with custom stuff on diapers, as for me I will have one , It's one of those rules they shouldn't have to have , but with the speeds getting ever faster, and the use of sythetic oils, we as racers should have been doing this on our own and not have to have it pushed on us! Maybe some of these crashed drag cars and injured racers, never would have happened? just a thought

On one hand, there's no such thing as "too many" safety devices....within reason for the car's ET/Speed. I haven't seen too many oil downs at the bracket level around here in the last couple of years. That said, the rule making them required for S/ST (an entry level class, by the way...hahahaha) makes S/ST for us a NO GO for this year. If/when they require one for a 10-sec bracket car, we will slow it down to the low-11's...or put it back on the street. That means we're NOT spending $2000 on a Dana, $2500 on a t-brake 727/converter which is money NOT being spent with those vendors. So in our case, everyone loses. Reason it's deal breaker for us is...NO WAY am I getting a diaper on the Duster with a drag link through the pan and 1 7/8" Hookers that nearly touch the pan in 2 places are in the way of everything. Therefore, a tube k-member, motor plate, R&P steering and coil overs, new headers and oil pan would be required. At $5000-$6000-PLUS THAT aint happening. OR, MAYBE we could make it work with a motor plate, new oil pan and custom fenderwell headers. That alone is a $1500-$2000 fix. Screw that. NHRA is doing all they can to reduce car counts even further. This might have been a better idea when there is some economic stability in this country and people are back to work. Of course to complete my RANT, if it were up to me, S/ST would be limted to 130-or less MPH, with NO electronics, OEM front end and OEM rear frame rails and limited to a max 10.5" wide tire. You know, ENTRY LEVEL. The class has really become Stupid STreet allowing tube frame 150+ mph cars. Thanks for listening, I'm done!  Merry Christmas!

I'm sure all these people that are too lazy to drain their antifreeze before they go to the track will be all over installing diapers.
Free advice and worth every penny...

If you go on yellow Bullet and search you find some good threads on the belly pans. AND you be surprised the NHRA seems to accept a lot less than you read in the rule book about a belly pan. Also on here if you look in the Silverfish progress/chassis build thread there is a pic of a pretty nice belly pan, also Bigtime bob has one on his car. Hey look this really is a Pain but if you kick a rod or whatever, you prob be very happy you or the guy in the other lane had one.
....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....
